Trying to follow various instructions on creating a self-signed cert for use with localhost, Most of the instructions seem to be for IIS, but I'm trying to use Nodejs/Express. None of them work properly because while the cert gets installed, it is not trusted. here's what I've tried that fails:
Step 8. leave DER encoding, click next, choose Browse, put it on a easy to access folder like Desktop, and name the certificate localhost.cer, then click Save and then Finish.. You should be able to see your certificate on Desktop.
Some of the answers posted have pieces that were very useful to me to overcome this problem too. However, I was also interested in the minimum number of steps and, ideally, avoiding OpenSSL (on Windows 10).
So, one critical piece from the answers (credit: @TroyWorks) is that you need to edit your HOSTS file to create a fictitious server, and map that to 127.0.0.1. This assumes you are going to be doing local development.
In my case, I was using the SS certificate to secure a websocket in NodeJS, and that socket was being connected to programmatically (as opposed to via browser). So for me, it was critical that the certificate be accepted without warnings or errors, and the critical piece there was to get the cert created with a proper CN (and of course accept the cert into Trusted Authorities, as described elsewhere in the answers). Using IIS to create a self-signed cert won't create the proper CN, so I discovered the following simple command using Powershell:
The final piece, using this in NodeJS, is described above and in other SO answers, so I'll only add that on Windows, it is easier to work with a pfx file that combines the cert and private key. You can export a pfx easily from the Certificate Manager, but it does affect how you use it in NodeJS. When instantiating a Server using the 'https' module, the options you would use (instead of 'key' and 'cert') would be 'pfx' and 'passphrase', as in:
It's a manual process, but I got it working finally. Just make sure the Common Name (CN) is set to "localhost" (without the port) and after the certificate is added make sure all the Trust options on the certificate are set to "Always Trust". Also make sure you add it to the "System" keychain and not the "login" keychain.
Note that I wouldn't generate on the fly. Generate with some kind of build script so you have a consistent certificate and key. Otherwise you'll have to authorize the newly generated self-signed certificate every time.
Step 2 - Copy Certificate: Open Certificate Manager by pressing the windows key and search for "manage user certificates". Navigate to Personal -> Certificates and copy the localhost cert to Trusted Root Certification Authorities -> Certificates
on windows I made the iis development certificate trusted by using MMC (start > run > mmc), then add the certificate snapin, choosing "local computer" and accepting the defaults. Once that certificate snapip is added expand the local computer certificate tree to look under Personal, select the localhost certificate, right click > all task > export. accept all defaults in the exporting wizard.
To have a green bar for a self-signed certificate, you also need to become the Certificate Authority (CA). This aspect is missing in most resources I found on my journey to achieve the green bar in my local development setup. Becoming a CA is as easy as creating a certificate.
This resource covers the creation of both the CA certificate and a Server certificate and resulted my setup in showing a green bar on localhost Chrome, Firefox and Edge: -signed_https_cert_after_chrome_58
